As within the automotive world, so too has the motorcycling world adopted the thought of track-ready, one-off motorcycles supplied to mere mortals such as you and I. These go-fast machines are normally ready-to-rock variations of a model’s road bikes, or one step down from the full-blown racers. All of them, nevertheless, are extraordinarily cool, despite the fact that I’d by no means be capable of extract every part from them. 

And Aprilia is the most recent producer to get in on the motion with the discharge of the RS 660 Trofeo; a track-only, limited-edition sport bike that builds on the model’s prior track-only success and a motorbike we won’t assist however drool over. 

The bike itself is predicated across the RS 660, however not like the street bike, the Trofeo is definitely constructed by the race division. According to Aprilia, “The limited production, which happens between race seasons, is made directly by the Aprilia Racing department as a part of the Factory Works program.”

With that in thoughts, Aprilia Racing and the Factory Work program get to constructing out a greater motorbike. The program eliminates the ignition change meeting, together with ABS—although “the ABS control unit, however, remains on the bike and connected to exploit the strategies of the integrated electronic system—while the rest of the braking system is “simplified with unbiased traces.” The bike’s ECU is then reprogrammed with “mapping (all ‘full energy’) developed by Aprilia Racing.” 

It’s additionally been tuned for the SC Project racing exhaust. 

Working to maintain every part degree is an up to date suspension system, with the entrance forks getting an adjustable “Misano by Andreani” inner cartridge, that works for each compression and rebound damping and preload, whereas a rear Öhlins AP948 shock “features hydraulic preload, compression, and rebound damping adjustment.”

The bike’s chassis was additionally upgraded, as Aprilia lowered the driving place “thanks to the racing upper steering yoke and adjustable semi-handlebars,” whereas the model made the footpegs adjustable. The model additionally dropped the dry weight—a ridiculous metric as we have mentioned prior to now—to simply 153 kilos. 

All in all, what that totals is a limited-edition, track-only motorbike that’ll set you again a cool $21,500. But solely 28 RS 660 Trofeos will likely be constructed, so if you happen to’re the form of individual that desires to stunt on everybody at your subsequent monitor day, act fast, as orders are dwell now.
